Food Supply: In the paleolithic period, hunter-gatherers had to go hunting for sheep but now in the neolithic period we go buy sheep meat.
Occupations: During the paleolithic period, the main thing was to find food but now in the neolithic period, we pay attention to homes' artistic and religious purpose.
Population/Settlement: In the paleolithic period, people lived in tents and went out for hunting and settled in an another place, but we now live in one big house and don't move houses where ever we go to.
Resources: During the paleolithic period, people only used resources that they had in their immediate area. Since then, there has been more trading among other people from different places.
Shelter: In the paleolithic period, people lived in tents but now we live in buildings. We have a more stable lifestyle.
Technology: In the paleolithic period, hunter-gatherers used to used a stone called "chopper" to chop food but now we use knifes and other stuff. (By: Kylie Youk)

Food Supply
Pictures for Paleolithic to Neolithic
Paleolithic is the Ram and the dried wheat
Neolithic is the fat sheep with a lot of fur and the wheat is rich
Justification
I think in the Paleolithic Times they hunted a lot so the Rams needed horns but in the Neolithic times they used their fur and all so they didn't need it. Also it's because in the Neolithic time they domesticated animals and plant for human needs. That's why the sheep is fatter and the wheat is richer.
Effect on Daily Life
We have farming and better cultivation
Also sheep have more fur we use for clothes
We have more food
Now people don't have to wander around because we domesticate and grow food now.-Jay Park
Occupations
Pictures for Paleolithic to Neolithic
Paleolithic is the man gathering fruit
the Neolithic is the man making clay pots
Justification
In Paleolithic times they spent time gathering but in the Neolithic times they were smarter so they farmed. Then they have more time making. People also started to develop agriculture in the Neolithic times so there is no need for gathering. Also in the Neolithic times they had permanent homes.
Effect on Daily Life
Now nobody spends time gathering
Everybody has a real job
Thats why we learned to make things
Population/ Settlement
Pictures for Paleolithic to Neolithic
Paleolithic the community of tents made out of leather
Neolithic the community if houses
Justification
In Paleolithic they had older settlements and were nomads. Neolithic they wanted permanent shelter so they built houses and community. Also as they developed agriculture they didn't want to leave the plants behind.
Effect on Daily Life
Now we have better settlement like houses
Now we have permanent homes
We have large amounts of people living in a settlement
Resources
Pictures for Paleolithic to Neolithic
Paleolithic the necklace made out of bone
Neolithic the necklace mad out of shells
Justification
Paleolithic times they hunted more than planting or gather so they have boney necklaces while in the Neolithic they had more time to sit around.
Effect on Daily Life
We have no bone necklaces
We have accessories instead
No one is wearing scary bone necklaces
Now we use better resources to make tools, accessories, etc.-Jay Park
Shelter
Pictures for Paleolithic to Neolithic
Paleolithic is the leather tent
Neolithic it's the house
Justification
Paleolithic times people went from place to place every season. While the Neolithic people wanted to be in one place and decided we need more stable structure.
Effect on Daily Life
Now we have very stable and comfortable shelters
There are no tents
We have a great life
Now we can live more safely and do not have to worry about too much rain or snow ruining our houses-Jay Park
Technology
Pictures for Paleolithic to Neolithic
Paleolithic is the Blunt tool
Neolithic is the sharp Stone
Justification
In Paleolithic they used the "Chopper" in the Neolithic they developed a variety of tools which was sharper and easier to handle
People who hunt animals and gather wild plants, seeds, fruits, and nuts to survive; a division of labor kind of

Neolithic Period: the latest Stone Age period
Paleolithic Period: The oldest period in the Stone Age
Hunter-gatherers: People who hunt and gather food to live and eat
Domestication:Changing plants and animals to become more beneficial to people
Agriculture: The act of planting and growing plants
Australopithecus- Southern apes
These apes appeared about 4-5 million years ago. Used stone tools and stood with 2 legs. Their brain was about 1/3 size modern human brains. Yet it did not know how to use fire. They gathered vegetables, fruit and hunted animals to survive. They lived in groups. There were many groups and they fought over the territory. Lucy for example, a Australopithecus that once existed had a great conflict with the wild and other group of southern apes. They gave birth to babies. The Australopithecus also had fur. They developed fur because they had to survive in the coldness when it is cold.they were closer to apes that time.
Homo Habilis-handy man
This kind of human was generated about 2.4 million years ago. They were called 'handy man' because they were wiser than a ape and knew new things. But also they were not as developed as modern humans. Their brain is about half the size of modern humans. They knew how to use stone tools properly. They used stone for scrapping, chopping and hunting usually. Yet they did not know how to use fire. They had fur, but not as much as the Australopithecus. They have less because they started building shelters that are warmer, so they were not many use of fur as Australopithecus because they did not have a warm shelter.
Homo erectus-upright man
This kind of humans could stand up straight and were very clever too. They used the stone tools perfectly fine. They started making them sharp to make it more better to hunt. They made things like hand ax. They also learned how to control fire. They how to use fire. They used it when it is cold and to cook foods. This kind of people appeared in Africa about 1.5-2 million years ago. They were smarter and clever than the Homo habilis because their brains were bigger than them. It is about the same, but smaller then the modern people. They moved out of Africa nas moved into other continents like Asia and Europe.
Homo Sapien-wise man
These people are people like you and me, now. They completely know the use of fire and can do other things. They did things like making languages. They developed it so that we can communicate with each other and express our feeling. Now we use different tools. Instead of stone, we use things like metal which are better tools than stones. Homo sapiens existed 200,000 years ago. we migrated around the world and spread ourselves out to the territory. Also we do not have any furs but a hair because we stay cozy in our homes.
Changes in life
Food Supply-Something that humans eat
Sheep are wild and they use to have horns for protection. Now most of them don't because people stay in one place and capture animals on one place. Instead they have wools which gives benefit to humans. Humans did not hunt much anymore. They produced animals and do not need to hunt. Also agriculture, people started to produce food and not go gathering much.
Occupations-Somethings that humans do in activity
When they were gather-hunter, they did not have much free time to do something else. Later when they started agriculture and capturing animals, they did not need to go out hunting and gathering. So, they had time to develop arts and tools. They started making potteries and other things for decoration and uses.
Population/settlement-When humans settled in groups
Because humans now did agriculture and captured animals, they did not need to follow them and move around. They settled in more groups with more people. They can make your houses more safe. They also decorated their houses with many things that are useful.
Resources-Something that people made to make for decoration
Humans made things for their own decorations. In the paleolithic era, necklaces were made with animal claws and teeth. Later on in the neolithic era the necklaces were more varied and obviously it was better. This things can decorate yourself. Or in the older days, it might be an object that was believed to keep evil spirits away.
Shelter-Somewhere humans lived
Long ago in the paleolithic era people just simple built a tent and called it a shelter. They did not have time to so it better because there were so much things to do to survive. When in the neolithic period when people discovered the agriculture, they had time to decorate your house. They made it stronger because they were going to live in it permanently. They put thing they needed in their shelter.
Technology-Tools that humans used
The tools that humans used in this period is stone. They made it sharper and hunted with it. First, they had rocks that was not that sharp to give much damage to the animals. Later on they got the way to sharpen it more sharper to give more influence.
Vocabulary
Paleolithic Era- Old stone age. There were not many thing that was developed in this era. People were still hunter-gathers. They used stone tools in this period.
Neolithic Era- New stone age. There were many changes in life and they started to agriculture and capture animals in that place.
Food Supply- The things that humans ate. Like animals and plants.
Occupation- The things that humans made. Like pottery. They were able to develop this in their leisure time when they had time because they discovered the agriculture and capturing animals.
Population/Settlement- When people lived in groups. There were group of people and formed a community.
Resources- Thing that people made to decorate themselves or other reasons that it protects them from evil spirits.
Shelter- The place that humans lived. They developed their houses in the Neolithic era.
Technology- Tools that humans use for certain things. Like stone tools that they used for hunting.
Agriculture- Thing that humans did in the neolithic era. When they planted seeds and got plants every year.
Domestication- When humans captured animals on a land to eat them whenever they want to. Animals change because of this. For example, sheep. Their horns were gone because they are no longer in the wild.

Aspects of Daily life effects notes
Food supply: In the Paleolithic period, the food became scarce so the people in the Neolithic period, the people started to cultivate seeds. The Neolithic period farmers domesticated the plants and animals. The cultivation of plants and domestication of animals are callled agriculture.
Occupations: In the Paleolithic period, the people had concentrated mainly on the food-finding. In the Neolithic period, people were reliable on the food since they had started agriculture, so they paid more attention to the art and decorating instead. The skills included sewing, building and tool-making. People made obsidian and other things to honor the gods. The life between the Paleolithic period and the Neolithic period has a very big difference.
Population/Settlement: In the Paleolithic period, people settled together in bands which included only 20-60 people. They had also moved around every now and then because of the food. In the Neolithic period, people could settle down since they farmed by themselves so they don't have to move to other places and the population of one town or village living together has increased a lot. As they started to live together, they shared ideas and to help each other. As the population grew, the people became more rich and varied.
Resources: In the Paleolithic period, people had only used resources that were near their land like plants and water. The people didn't trade that often. In the Neolithic period, people started to move around and use other resources that weren't near their land. They added more and more resources as the technology became more sophisticated. Since the people used more decorations, people traded a lot more. The people at that time traded for obsidian a lot of times. Women used hematite for makeup to make a reddish glow on their cheeks.
Shelter: In the Paleolithic period, had to move many times depending on where the food goes. They made round-shaped tents. In the Neolithic period, people settled down and made rectangular-shaped tents. They started to use bricks and mud.
Technology: In the Paleolithic period, the people made flint knifes that were crooked. They didn't use a variety of tools. In the Neolithic period, people used more and more different types of tools because more people made them. The people made animal skin to put on the tools. They improved on how to use tools, too.

by Sihak Lee 6Fthe early people and their generation
Australopithecus- Southern apes
These apes appeared about 4-5 million years ago. Used stone tools and stood with 2 legs. Their brain was about 1/3 size modern human brains. Yet it did not know how to use fire. They gathered vegetables, fruit and hunted animals to survive. They lived in groups. There were many groups and they fought over the territory. Lucy for example, a Australopithecus that once existed had a great conflict with the wild and other group of southern apes. They gave birth to babies. The Australopithecus also had fur. They developed fur because they had to survive in the coldness when it is cold.they were closer to apes that time.
Homo Habilis- handy man
This kind of human was generated about 2.4 million years ago. They were called 'handy man' because they were wiser than a ape and knew new things. But also they were not as developed as modern humans. Their brain is about half the size of modern humans. They knew how to use stone tools properly. They used stone for scrapping, chopping and hunting usually. Yet they did not know how to use fire. They had fur, but not as much as the Australopithecus. They have less because they started building shelters that are warmer, so they were not many use of fur as Australopithecus because they did not have a warm shelter.
Homo erectus- upright man
This kind of humans could stand up straight and were very clever too. They used the stone tools perfectly fine. They started making them sharp to make it more better to hunt. They made things like hand ax. They also learned how to control fire. They how to use fire. They used it when it is cold and to cook foods. This kind of people appeared in Africa about 1.5-2 million years ago. They were smarter and clever than the Homo habilis because their brains were bigger than them. It is about the same, but smaller then the modern people. They moved out of Africa nas moved into other continents like Asia and Europe.
Homo Sapien-wise man
These people are people like you and me, now. They completely know the use of fire and can do other things. They did things like making languages. They developed it so that we can communicate with each other and express our feeling. Now we use different tools. Instead of stone, we use things like metal which are better tools than stones. Homo sapiens existed 200,000 years ago. we migrated around the world and spread ourselves out to the territory. Also we do not have any furs but a hair because we stay cozy in our homes.
Changes in life
Food Supply- Something that humans eat
Sheep are wild and they use to have horns for protection. Now most of them don't because people stay in one place and capture animals on one place. Instead they have wools which gives benefit to humans. Humans did not hunt much anymore. They produced animals and do not need to hunt. Also agriculture, people started to produce food and not go gathering much.
Occupations- Somethings that humans do in activity
When they were gather-hunter, they did not have much free time to do something else. Later when they started agriculture and capturing animals, they did not need to go out hunting and gathering. So, they had time to develop arts and tools. They started making potteries and other things for decoration and uses.
Population/settlement- When humans settled in groups
Because humans now did agriculture and captured animals, they did not need to follow them and move around. They settled in more groups with more people. They can make your houses more safe. They also decorated their houses with many things that are useful.
Resources- Something that people made to make for decoration
Humans made things for their own decorations. In the paleolithic era, necklaces were made with animal claws and teeth. Later on in the neolithic era the necklaces were more varied and obviously it was better. This things can decorate yourself. Or in the older days, it might be an object that was believed to keep evil spirits away.
Shelter- Somewhere humans lived
Long ago in the paleolithic era people just simple built a tent and called it a shelter. They did not have time to so it better because there were so much things to do to survive. When in the neolithic period when people discovered the agriculture, they had time to decorate your house. They made it stronger because they were going to live in it permanently. They put thing they needed in their shelter.
Technology- Tools that humans used
The tools that humans used in this period is stone. They made it sharper and hunted with it. First, they had rocks that was not that sharp to give much damage to the animals. Later on they got the way to sharpen it more sharper to give more influence.
Vocabulary

Aspects of Daily life effects notes
Food supply: In the Paleolithic period, the food became scarce so the people in the Neolithic period, the people started to cultivate seeds. The Neolithic period farmers domesticated the plants and animals. The cultivation of plants and domestication of animals are callled agriculture.Occupations: In the Paleolithic period, the people had concentrated mainly on the food-finding. In the Neolithic period, people were reliable on the food since they had started agriculture, so they paid more attention to the art and decorating instead. The skills included sewing, building and tool-making. People made obsidian and other things to honor the gods. The life between the Paleolithic period and the Neolithic period has a very big difference.
Population/Settlement: In the Paleolithic period, people settled together in bands which included only 20-60 people. They had also moved around every now and then because of the food. In the Neolithic period, people could settle down since they farmed by themselves so they don't have to move to other places and the population of one town or village living together has increased a lot. As they started to live together, they shared ideas and to help each other. As the population grew, the people became more rich and varied.
Resources: In the Paleolithic period, people had only used resources that were near their land like plants and water. The people didn't trade that often. In the Neolithic period, people started to move around and use other resources that weren't near their land. They added more and more resources as the technology became more sophisticated. Since the people used more decorations, people traded a lot more. The people at that time traded for obsidian a lot of times. Women used hematite for makeup to make a reddish glow on their cheeks.
Shelter: In the Paleolithic period, had to move many times depending on where the food goes. They made round-shaped tents. In the Neolithic period, people settled down and made rectangular-shaped tents. They started to use bricks and mud.
Technology: In the Paleolithic period, the people made flint knifes that were crooked. They didn't use a variety of tools. In the Neolithic period, people used more and more different types of tools because more people made them. The people made animal skin to put on the tools. They improved on how to use tools, too.
